Commonwealth School Film Festival 2009

My wonderful high school is hosting a film festival this coming weekend.
The award-winning documentary "Beyond Belief" which features my music will be screening along with many, many films created by my fellow alums.
Here is a link to the film festival's webpage.
Happy Fall to all!

Principle Pictures goes on the road

My friends and collaborators at Principle Pictures left on Monday August 3 on a whirlwind tour of the middle east. They are collecting footage for their new film "The Promise of Freedom" which is currently in production and for which I will be making the score.

Principle Pictures received major funding to complete this new film from ITVS. Very exciting!

Please visit their website and blog for more details.

Safe travels Beth, Sean and Kevin.

Indianapolis Grand Jury Prize

The documentary film Beyond Belief brings another award home. This time it's the Grand Jury Prize from the Indianapolis International Film Festival. The excitement continues... and here's the trailer from youtube:

Screening at the United Nations

The film Beyond Belief is screening at the United Nations in New York on Monday, March 24 2008. To think that this humble yet uplifting film will be seen by the leaders of foreign lands is very exciting to me. Perhaps the next step will be for screenings to take place in a large scale in other countries.

I believe Beyond Belief is a film that can help begin to rebuild the standing of the U.S. throughout the rest of the world. Beyond Belief displays courage, generosity and a global perspective embraced by two regular citizens who reach out to help others.

The U.S. needs this kind of positive image to help redeem us in the eyes of the world.

Please support this film. Rent it from Netflix. Find it at a film festival near you. Blog about it.

Thanks for listening.
